Do you remember what some of the themes were on your Valentine's you gave to all your little classmates when you were a child?

A little piece of NYC real estate heaven

Okay, I am in love with this NYC apartment! Isn't it just darling? It is featured in Lonny Mag's February Issue. It is just my style - perfectly eclectic :) Everything is creatively coordinated to give a welcoming feel. The colours, textures and patterns are just right and the composition of the whole apartment is very pleasing to the eye. The little kitchen is adorable and I LOVE what they've done with the bathroom, not to mention the livingroom/dining room...

See for yourself...

Note to self: find mini spiral stairs to lead me up to the top of my book mountain :)

The lucite chairs are really pretty in this space. They also help to give the illusion of more room at the same time as complimenting the victorian-esque sofa with a touch of modernity. And the zebra ottomons are great of course. Most things zebra patterned are a great touch as far as I'm concerned... except for maybe zebra print lycra mini dresses circa 1980's ;)

The paper on these walls is stunning! And it looks even better with the vase of matching flowers :) This isn't something that would necessarily catch my eye on the roll but it's really beautiful on the walls. I love bold, daring colours and patterns in small rooms!

What do you think of this space?

What is your favourite feature of this apartment?

Unfortunately I have lost track of where this photograph is from. If you know please drop me an email and I will give it a proper citation.

Unique Tables for the Creative Soul

I'M BACK!

Hello friends!

My apologies for not having posted here in a while. I had the unfortunate experience of getting a virus on my computer... and I lost all the images I had saved for future posts :(

Well I'm back now but have had to start all over! What a shame...

I'm on the market for a new coffee table so I've been paying special attention to tables in decor photos. I want something unique and unlike the standard ol' 4-legged wooden table that we have now.

I like the idea of using a couple of side tables/stools instead of one large coffee table.

This table is darling... it would fit right in in my imaginary girly girl house :)

This one takes the idea of an ottoman as a table up a few notches! Love it!


These are my favourite and would go perfect in our eclectic livingroom we currently have. They look like old drums possibly?



Everyone knows I just love books... so having a book end-table (book-end table!) would be a dream! The translucent coffee table is also a great idea when wanting to open up a small space. Do you think I could find some large see-through books that would work and hit 2 birds with one stone? LOL


All I can say about this is - gorgeous and creative! Wouldn't you love a bathroom like this?


I like the rusticness of this table. It looks like it could have been repurposed out of something else.


Something like this would also be great for a smaller space as it can create more seating when needed.

Friends also know I love anything Moroccan - great look!

If you happen to find any great unique coffee table ideas please send them my way!
What kind of coffee table do you have at home?
